Lets see them ice fishing setups

[guywhofishes]

golf club tubes used to make rod holders

includes safety lanyard for Winnipeg ice shard field crossings from hell

- - - Updated - - -





world's largest and toughest rod and tackle storage is now my bench seat (I added closed cell foam padding)

attached to the two tip-up otter seat bars

folds up to access inside sled

detaches with bungies - of course

if fishing with someone I use the original bucket seats

Neat

look closely at the folded down bench seat pic - see the 1.5" (I think?) hole drilled in the otter sled lip at lower left?

You can drill holes in the lip all over the place - they are perfectly good rod-holders - just cheat to the outside of the lip so that bottom of rod handle has room to tilt toward the sled and rod can tilt out - distance is infinitely adjustable by how far down you lower it before you tilt tod

no fish on earth will pull a rod out of there either

if you don't like where you put the hole drill another one - why not six more - I have yet to find a reason why holes matter in the lip of an otter sled

I also installed lights inside and outside just under the lip- powered by one of these - that lasts all year - or is a great backup if you screwed up and forgot to charge something else

my system only weighs 300 lbs - easily loaded into pickup or onto trailer by 5 guys

Very nice guywhofishes, I really like the ice rod hard case but for 150$, I would really like to make my own.
I think you should draw me a diagram of the inside of the rod locker case and all the dimensions of the foam inserts. That way I can make my own custom set up.

Can't believe those rods don't get too hot under the hood like that. Very nice #guywholikesmods

Any side by side owners have a picture of what you're using for carrying your auger?

My thoughts exactly, guywhofishes does the engine heat effect the ice fishing rods? It seems to be a genius way to set up for run and gun ice trolling.

You cant troll on ice. It's called vertical jigging.

digger anchor's auger carrier is excellent

the golf club tube liners have no sign of melting - if that soft polyethylene hasn't melted I think it's going to work out fine for rods, guides and line.

Notice that I did wrap a section of the one tube with aluminum duct tape (the kind for high temp sealing of dryer vents, etc.) where it passed a few inches close to the muffler

this sled is axial fan cooled so I think that helps in idling or slow travel conditions where liquid cools can get hot

I want a winch that can go in my receiver hitch. #nomoreshoveling

yes - and an anchor at end of the cable that you can drop into a hole in the ice that you drilled with your auger

Yes and an ARB locker on the rear end and chains on the back tires.

What about buckets and didn't see any buckets,

What about buckets and didn't see any buckets,

Correction I do see one bucket or pail in guywhofishes pictures
Johnr is a bucket and a pail the same or different
Also if I use a bungee cord on my tarp is it still a bungee cord or is it now a tarp strap.;:;banghead:;:help

I was wondering if anyone has seen these set ups up close and if so would you recommend on buying. These run 650$ vs tracks 1500 to 2500$
I guess just looking for some research on this product.

This was my favorite modification at Thorne Brothers show last fall.
